Want Our Stub Line Bonds.
If there Is any doubt In the minds of
the people that money could not bo se-
cured to build the stub line from Bea-
ver to Forgan nf(.or tho stock subscrip-
tions had all been mado they had best
relieve themselves of that erroneous
impression for already beforo wo are
In shape to sell Promoter Grifllth has
received a wlru from n concern in tin
East with whom ho has been In com-
munication advising him to come on
at once and close a deal for tho same
Don't that look like he was doing busi-
ness nnd knew how to hnndlu this
proposition?
If the people had taken hold of this
thing and signed up for the amount
required Mr. Gnlllth could now bo in
the East and securo tho money and
aotual construction work would com-
mence within thirty days. Ho wired
back that it would be Impossible for
him to come Just now as tho detail
had not been completed but. that he
hoped to meet them soon.
It Is nowisiiunrely up to tho people.
The railroad Is within our reach nnd
we can obtain it without the loss of a
dollar. Wo know that after the stock
Is subscribed and the proposition In
shano to handle that thorn ro con
cerns waiting willing and anxious to
lake It over. In tliat event our peo-
ple wouldn't be required to pay n cent
But on tho other hand wu believe
stock In such a company would be a
paying Investment and that n local
company can handle It and be able to
declare a handsome dividend to the
stockholders. After the project Is un-
der way we don't believe that stock-
holders will want to sell for j.hy may
ns well have a few hundred dollars in-
vested where it wilt bring Ilium a good
return annually as to turn It over to
the large railroad Interests for their
benefit
One other thing about the B. M. fc
E. Railway. It is not proposed to stop
at Forgnn but the line will go on tap-
ping the Eock I. land nt Meade Kan-
sas and the Santa Fe at Dodge City.
Kansas. Tho people of those towns
and surrounding country are mure
than ready to take up their share of
iheTbuYden of building. " Wo want to
urge our people to look Into this prop-
osition carefully and enrnettly It is
not a question of "Can I afford to
give? but "Can I afford not to give?"
If we fall to build tho road It means n
dead loss or from $300 00 to $1000.0) In
tho cash value of every deeded quarter
section of land within fifteen to twen-
ty miles of Beaver to say nothing of
what we lnso In better and more acces-
sible markets for our produce. Can
we afford then to refuse to take a few
hundred dollars stock In a safe invest-
ment? Wo hardly think we can? Let
us all that all means YOU get busy
now and do our part and do it at once.

Everybody Boosts Railroad.
An onthuslastla booster railroad
meeting was held nt tho Court House
in Beaver Saturday nlteruoon and
was nttended by n largo number of the
fnrmors and businoss people of Beaver.
Tho Beaver Hand played several se-
leotiots "ii the street and led the way
to tho Court lloure whero more music
was rendered whllo the crowd gath-
ered. You can donend on the Beavor
hand being there when tlieru Is any
b mating to be done and their excellent
musiu was not only n olensuro to hear
lint an Inspiration to tho cause.
The proposition was clearly nnd
plainly lires'Mitcd to the crowd and
everybody was favorably Impressed
mid when the call came for stock sub
urlptions $2'.'25 0( was quickly tdgntd
tip and many others stated their will
iiigness'to sign later
Tho meeting was n good one and
proved that tho people in general aru
Anxious for tho building of tho road
and will help to tho full extent of
their ability. Wo have always had
faith In r.o proposition and we bellovo
tho peoplo aro going to take hold of
the matter and push It to completion
.prickly.
i
Old Missouri Getting Right.
Two important measures have been
before the Missouri legislature the past
week and at this time It looks pretty
much like old Mizzoo was going to
'show" the. rest of the world that sho
is the good old state her' nntl.ro ions
and daughters boast sho Is and that
a is going to throw off tho curso of
the open saloon and at the same lime
.rant equal suffragu to men and wo-
men. Both measuies wore pasted by
the lower house of the legislature this
Acek. There is good reason to bollove
that thoy will also pass tho. scnato by
i good majority. Missouri wo havu
nver been proud of you but when you
enter the "dry" and "equal suffrage"
ulnss we'll be more proud than ever
that we saw tho li rat light of day with-
in your borders and never-more will
wo resent being called 'a Missouri
Puke." :

Last August H. R. Martin of Wootl-
WBrd representing hlmsalf as agent for
the Farmers' Underwriters Insurance
Co. of Fort Worth Tejtas camo here
mado a d-ntrnct wltlj McLarty Bros to
insure their stock of goods for thlrty-
flve hundred with Just & Noyfold for
thirty-five hundred nnd with A W
Kuykendall t Son; each paid half
down and gavo their nots for tho bal-
ance. Since that tlmn nnno of them
have evor heard from tho so-calleu
agontof the Insurance Company. They
haye not been called upon to pay their
notes neither have they received their
policies. It Is also reported that this
agent mado contracts with six business
men of LaKemp and secured consider-
able cash from them. He was rocntn-
mended to our merchants by Mr
Baughman. of LaKmp but who now
clams ho ''Id not know anything about
him. It begins to look as If tho smooth
agent was a grafter and had hit upon a
great get-rich-quick scheme but as
our mernhants have written to tho
company at Ft. Worth a correct ver
sion of the affair cannot be reached
until word is received from them.
Beavor County Republican.
Every oneo In awhile one of theso
fake insurance agents shows up and
fleeces the people. It would be far
the best policy to tnrn down all such
traveling agents who represent them
selves as Insurance rvrlters and take
nut your policy with the local home
agent who is responsible and you
know he is what he represents hfmself
to bo. It Is a pretty safe bet Hat tho
who patronize every Tom Dick and j
Harry of an agent win geiaiuogsooiiwr
